FlexyCUBE is a modular tool engineered to suit all laboratory reactor automation needs. It allows laboratories to use autonomous operation of multiple parallel reactor units from a single PC, using SYSTAG’s proven Windows 7/XP-based software that can manage recipe-controlled automation of experiments.
FlexyCUBE includes all necessary tools and functions to enable users to simulate complex standalone and parallel chemical synthesis reactions, including hydrogenation, Grignard or Friedel-Crafts reactions, acetylation, nitration and esterification.
It offers a very wide range of applications, with projects being controlled individually or in parallel, for Design of Experiment (DoE) projects.
The FlexyCUBE reactor unit performs all the core functions demanded by synthesis and screening laboratories:
Calo2310 provides a unique combination of heat flow and heat balance calorimetry that provides users with more precise and reliable plausibility checks for their analyses. This dynamic reaction calorimeter offers a wide range of applications to enable scientific investigation of:
Basic Calo2310 functions include controls over a range of reactions; isothermal and non-isothermal, isoperibol and adiabatic; with continuous evaluation right through to reflux, either with or without any calibration.
The system allows gravimetric as well as manual dosing, even of solids, which is constantly temperature-compensated, maintaining overall heat balance between reactor and reflux condenser, with automatic co-determination. All Calo2310 systems incorporate SYSTAG’s automatic ‘Zero Watt’ technology that eliminates the baseline.
These unprecedented additional features guarantee maximum reproducibility and precision regardless of physical influences for all types of reactions, such as:
Calo2310 can be supplied with various reactor sizes and shapes to support different applications. The system provides a wide range of measurements and control,
The system can also be tailored to specific key data requirements, with temperature range supported ranging from -80°C to +300°C. Other options include:
FlexyPlant combines the modular controlled reaction concept that FlexyCUBE and FlexyPAT bring to the laboratory with the flexibility of the FlexySys control system to provide integrated automation of production scale processes.
FlexyPlant provides customers with customized design solutions for the complete automation of kilo lab plants with reactor sizes up to 250 liters. These can be provided as design solutions, including functional control software specifications, user interface, control hardware, input/output lists and circuit diagrams.
Alternatively, FlexyPlant can create a total turnkey production plant, complete with reactors, sensors and fittings, in collaboration with Swiss partners Büchi. FlexyPlant technology is also applicable to pilot plants, special reactors and challenging chemical process technologies such as polymerizations, hydrogenations or thermal separation of substances.
FlexyPlant is SYSTAG’s automation solution to the particular demands imposed by kilo lab and pilot plants, where the quantities of materials used require the process management of a production operation, together with a comprehensive safety concept. At the same time, the operating team must be able to respond quickly and flexibly to any deviation from the defined process.
The provides the final link in a universal control concept that extends from laboratory to pilot plant and production, with consistent look and feel, interchangeable recipes, automatic data acquisition/logging and end-to-end compliance with GMP and CFR 21, Part 11.
It provides centralized control of all special apparatus, including rectification units, hydrogenation autoclaves, and polymerization plants. The FlexySys process control system combines the flexibility of manual operation with the safety, reliability and reproducibility of a recipe-controlled plant.
Plant specifications are developed in close co-operation with the user. The customer can contact specialists at SYSTAG with professional understanding of the detailed working practices and requirements of process development. In close co-operation with the customer, SYSTAG will produce a detailed specification that will in turn be used as the basis for a tailored FlexyPlant automation solution or a turnkey production plant.
The requirement specification encompasses functional specifications for control software, a practical user interface, selection of control hardware (e.g. Siemens S7, Beckhoff), I/O lists and switch cabinet planning and cable diagrams.
Turnkey systems also include P&I diagrams, peripheral devices such as pumps, scales, sensors, valves, fittings and core hardware including reactors, structural reactor components, templates and Nutsch-type filters with the latter supplied by respected Swiss partner, Büchi.
